The first taster from the debut album 'Laughter Through Tears'

SIDE A: 7 Brothers (Original Mix)

Pure dancefloor alchemy. A 21st Century klezmer groove with a jazzy breaks b-line. Long established as a live favourite, 7 Brothers is the first track from Oi Va Voi's eagerly awaited debut album 'Laughter Through Tears'. 7 Brothers is a statement of intent - it shows the power, the groove, the unique combination of instruments and arrangement that are unique to Oi Va Voi. The horns sing out 'we have arrived' and the beat kicks in hooking you in like a snake charmer; then the seductive vocals of Uzbekistan diva Sevara Nazarkhan entice you into the music. Produced by Bacon & Quarmby (Finlay Quaye, David Bowie, Koop, etc) and Toni Economides (Da Lata, Restless Soul, KV5) the track highlights the bands texture and sense of light and shade.  Sounds to seep into your bones.

SIDE B: 7 Brothers (Hefner Remix)

Hefner is one of the hottest leftfield producers today. His past remixes for Omar Faruk Tekbilek, The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Cinematic Orchestra have been critically acclaimed. Here he takes us to the heart of the original, changing the arrangement, adding a warm but funky bassline and keeping the beauty of the original. This track will appear as a hidden track on the album and on a collectors edition 10" vinyl.
